hiding in the rocks of a ten year old boy being rescued today is a day of mourning there's a memorial service being held just a few hundred metres from here in oslo cathedral and the court hearing is on monday the police say there still may be more casualties up to ninety seven recorded and there is criticism that it took them from an hour to an hour and a half after receiving information of the attack on the island that it took them over an hour to get to the scene and to stop the massacre there's also been criticism they were looking for muslims initially they were saying it was a muslim attack the police say that it was difficult to get to the island they had to find transport their stories are emerging of immense heroism of ordinary people who rescued fellow victims who went back into the danger area here in the city center but also there is growing criticism here in oslo of government integration policies which seem to have backfired more now in this report brave christine who was hit by the call bomb explosion in days and surrounded by broken globes she

stayed in the laws to help the wounded waitress just standing chatting and then suddenly you could just fade i was like i can like a fish just waiting for your body lofted out like last bits in their eyes. you know that gets smashed that's all of them the skin and everything this show patched up victims before giving its drinks as a nation which has never suffered at the hands of terrorists before he says norwegians just didn't know how to react. lorne's from from course on the buildings. but also on the people holding his gaming rolling on this man's wife suffered severe short when their windows were blown out by the blast but he says they're lucky to be alone he's thoughts go out to the many young victims of the second attack i think about the vision. the ship there are some caves and.

i think. there are in some places close to the two atrocities produced many acts of heroism but the dust settles on the world's worst mass shooting experts say there's also boise anger that the attacks were allowed to happen in the first place anger the truth or ignore dozens of hate messages from suspect. you haven't really been prepared for right wing extremism brave expressed fury at the government's open door policy on immigration blogs and twitter feeds and lists at the shootings may reflect growing national opposition to fully immigration policies the political establishment or more they are relatively well off people but they live in areas where there are simply no immigrants so that was a poor people in northern being pushed out of places they used to live live in and it's also their drug stocks are in jeopardy muslims claim this disappointment that

the killer turned out to be white they want this guy to be muslim or how muslim you know. it's for them it's a little bit strange because he's no we didn't so they talk too much about it and about us. it is not good norwegians are said to be fed up with their brand of what's been dubbed radical liberalism it's the country's multicultural policies to turn the government against his own. way the far right. wider than norwegians are ready to admit and there's a polite and respectful attitude towards that kind of thing mainstream media but the reality is that fifty percent often who are against multiculturalism as people here try to pick up the pieces and bring meaning to this twin attack they're already saying it with a. relations between communities some expect the crackdown by police on the e.u.

growing far right movements while others fear this will only fuel resentment against europe's muslims victims are beginning to piece together their shirts and lawyers but the experts warn this might not be the last such a tank as the perceived failure of a multicultural society grows the new bush will see oslo and anderson who knows the suspect personally told us that he was shocked by the news but also is a place where radicalism is in the air. i could not imagine and not even imagine that he must have been brainwashed or something he never came across as some kind of religious fanatic or anything i mean i knew that he was religious but it wasn't like he was trying to hurt you or anything else. he just i just.

it was really just pretty much. i would do more describe him. simply by theory than even all the way here it would be angry that he would be so to speak to some person but they are a long standing origin but not more than that i have not thought through ideological. why based on the other hand you just have to look around. and like a lot of people who are very radical religious all the way ranging from christian and then you have people who are wired to the left ideas and. managed to find some right wing group so i'm not generally surprised that equal find very extreme ideas so central oslo is basically like. which wrong way do you

want to say. that it was the son of former acquaintance of the alleged killer and as a brit i think of the whole world is not discussing what lies behind the atrocity and you can join in the debate on our web site on t.v. dot com i check in on what you're voting for right now the majority of you think that sheer fanaticism is to blame fewer people say the tensions stem from multiculturalism nine percent believe the reason is global terrorism which penetrates everywhere the rest of say it's down to the failure of security forces have your say twenty four seven at afi thought com. well still ahead for you in the program here on r t nato begins handing over control of afghan province to local army forces many question if indeed they're up to the job. plus we hear from campaign is against u.s. drone attacks in pakistan and want to fire a lawsuit at a former cia legal chief for approving attacks that killed hundreds of innocent.

this week the phone hacking and police bribery scandal was taken to the british parliament rupert murdoch his son james and former u.k. c.e.o. rebecca brooks hold grilled by british lawmakers for several hours the trio's said that they were deeply sorry for what happened however a new allegations have emerged that the news international chairman james murdoch misled m.p.'s by saying that he was unaware of the true extent of illicit phone tapping by his company's reporters the modocs could now face legal challenges in the us of a claim is the voice mails of nine eleven victims were also targeted meanwhile the britain's hacking scandal appears to be spreading beyond the murdoch empire with claims the sunday mirror tabloid also bugged celebrities voicemail messages results he's a guy in a chicken reports critics believe the issue is just the tip of the iceberg in a society that no longer values values individual purpose. as the scandal over

phone hacking by the murdoch media empire rages on public and political fury has mainly focused on ruthless tabloids out of control prepared to invade people's private lives and even the dad to get the story but some say in this day and age the whole concept of privacy is falling apart and in the u.s. more rapidly than elsewhere every time you tap on your cell or click on google or use your mail service everybody's sort of just clicks through that you agree to our terms and conditions well those terms and conditions are very very. heavily weighted against you and your privacy interests we see breaches of privacy happening by corporations all across america all across the world really in every sector surveillance is rampant but really here this is all a microcosm of the biggest surveil or all which is the state there's little americans can do with the state having sweeping access to their private information

access that followed the nine eleven terrorist attacks under a new law known as the patriot act asana law his privacy was taken away from him in two thousand and two when he was detained by the f.b.i. for absolutely no reason he says and scrutinized for months without charge he's response for nine years he has voluntarily documented nearly every waking hour of his life on the web he has subsequently even turned it into a form of art see all the toilets that i've used so you know that over here for example you know that on sunday november twenty fourth of two thousand and seven i've used this toilet i went grocery shopping at safeway over there on october seventeenth i got gas over here he posts copies of every debit card transaction so you can see what he bought where and when a g.p.s. device in his pocket reports his realtime physical location on a map and this is the shot he took on his way to our studio which was immediately uploaded on his website hasan says his extraordinary abandonment of his own privacy

stems from the ignorance of the authorities but in the fear they decided well that guy looks a little different so he must be arab and if he's arab then he must have explosives everyone knows that and that's the logic we're operating we we realize how ridiculous that logic sounds but when your country when your own country takes that on as the basis for national policy. ignorance as the basis of national policy is a pretty scary situation. and that's how i got caught up in it for haasan piracy has become a rally of the past and he says he's not surprised that journalists or anyone else really would use the same surveillance tactics as the state in that sense it might be of no surprise that the chief architect of the patriot act the lawyer who put it together happens to be one of murdoch's hand-picked news corp board directors served as assistant attorney general in the bush administration and was described by some as the purveyor of the most sweeping curtailment of freedom in the u.s.

system across the era at a time when corporations and the government can easily hack into people's private lives it doesn't come as a surprise when for example social networks give your personal information to ad companies or when other industries leave bob breaching people by the seat in the u.s. it's so widespread and people have gotten so used to it that rupert murdoch seems to be perfect part of the system rather than some special bill and with corporation has been undertaking some unique all lawful practices because here in america they are not so unique i'm going to check our reporting from washington our team. in the u.k. the revelation the police officers leaked information to news of the world reporters for cash has simply rocked the country james corporate editor of the independent news website says the scandal has seriously undermined people's trust. to find out that certain officers had been on the payroll of these organizations and providing

details today to the journalists who were and were involved in a scandal that in itself is quite a disgrace and it does raise the question of who is properly qualified to to look into this into to form a proper investigation certainly not the police itself investigating itself that would be ridiculous at this point and the idea again of a parliamentary inquiry it has to be at least seem to be completely free of ties to the prime minister's office certainly and and to any other m.p.'s who may have been implicated in this scandal so it's going to be an incredible mess unfortunately for the british people to be sorting through right now and i think trust in the public institutions has been necessarily eroded by this appalling disgraceful conduct on the part of so many different people in whom the public has invested so much trust . you're watching the weekly here on r.t. top stories of the weekend off today now greece let out a sigh of relief this week as after long talks e.u.

leaders finally agreed on how to help the country avoid it defaulting on its debt athens will now receive a new bailout worth an estimated one hundred and nine billion euros the plan a was agreed after greece approved severe austerity measures which sent thousands protesting on to the streets the rescue will also involve lowering interest rates on greek debt and extending the period in which it can be repaid the package also grants bankrupted portugal and ireland twice as much time to pay back their own loans meanwhile spain which has the highest rate of unemployment in the eurozone saw thousands of protesters converge on the capital on saturday with more rallies expected or some financial journalist patrick young says that bailing out failing economy won't help them in the long time i think it's going to prolong the agony unfortunately like everything we've been looking for for weeks we want to leadership from the european union and i think really the european union's own sort of press conference just demonstrates what a shambles this whole proceedings is i mean we have to sit through team different

leaders all telling us who's actually in charge and what's going on they give certain parts of the information seems to be contradictory ultimately a little more money has been thrown at the greek economy in the hope that that can stop the contagion but really a lot of it just looks like hype and i'm very very concerned that we haven't actually find a cure we've just got another sticking plaster on the can has been kicked down the road the danger of contagion still leaking to other countries such as arland portugal even italy and spain are there and therefore we don't have a cure ultimately we can't keep spending all of the bank's money and all of the government's money on all of these economic issues and at the same time consumers are basically scared and i think they're going to dry up and not be willing to indulge in normal economic activity i think it's a worrying time. and affairs of a defaulter also raging across the atlantic where barack obama met with congressional leaders in a desperate bid to avoid economic collapse previous talks with

a republican house speaker broke down on friday congress and must approve raising its current fourteen point three trillion dollars debt ceiling before august the second to avoid default the impact of america failing to pay its massive debts which the entire world economy what the deal offered by president obama includes slashing medical and social benefit costs but democrats and republicans are divided over the details of balancing spending cuts and tax rises and as investigative journalist greg palast says it's ordinary americans will have to foot the government's bill. george bush when he was president from two thousand and one to two thousand and eight when i why i don't spend he had a surplus given to me eighty six billion dollars year by bill clinton turned that into a six hundred million dollars per year deficit adding three trillion dollars us eric cantor voted for all those search for bush's wars and ran for the weapons for the

tax cuts now these guys don't want to pay the bill somehow but compromise means that these this in dollars will be paid for by eliminating up benefits for the working class b. american people the elderly people on social security didn't encourage it gets better is receiving better veterans' benefits didn't increase the debt it was the result of bush's wars bush's tax cuts while spending for these programs now are the beneficiaries basically people who got the money don't want to pay it back. well for more news on comment on the financial woes gripping the world just head over to r.t. dot com and here's a taste of what's waiting for you there right now uncover a bohemian mystery find out why every july since the eighty's california would have been filled with some of the most wealthy and powerful men in the world. and

court on monday. was arrested in serbia and extradited to the hague to face trial after seven years on the run was the last name on the list of one hundred sixty one people indicted by the court for war crimes committed during the balkan conflict he's accused of several atrocities throughout the war between croatia and yugoslavia in the early ninety's ranging from murder to religious prosecutor. officials in serbia hope that his arrest will clear the way to e.u. membership but while the government is ready for accession talks many serbs remain skeptical about a future in the club. things that. talks for the meantime premature sons of the serbia will get in return what usually gets nothing whatsoever in the serbian has got many many more hoops to jump over before he can get anywhere close to membership but i think that what the serbian leadership really wants is to have the

appearance of traveling hopefully regardless of whether they ever arrive in the e.u. or not because it's that travelling hopefully which allows them to. some people say abandon many national interests with the excuse that in fact the e.u. needs the e.u. wants it's not us your leaders really we're just a of a ng all of us i think that the argument of the current regime in belgrade and so this carrots of e.u. membership is something they wave in front of the population so ensure that the population remain those sile which has worked so far. you with r.t. now let's check out some other headlines from around the globe today clear up operations continue in china a day after two high speed trains collided in the east of the country at least thirty five people were killed almost two hundred injured one of the bullet trains was forced to stop after being struck by lightning but was then rear ended by a second train two of the coaches fell from a bridge as a result of the crash it was the first irrelevant on china's high speed rail

network since the country launched the bullet trains in two thousand and so. a car bombers killed eight soldiers in yemen's coastal city of aden the blast took place near the entrance of an army camp as a convoy of vehicles packed with troops was about to leave officials said they were being sent to fight al qaeda linked militants in a nearby province the country has been hit by months of anti-government protests including clashes between security forces and. a host of celebrities and friends have been paying tribute to amy winehouse the british soldier as diva was found dead in her london flat on saturday police say the cause of her death remains unexplained the twenty seven year old star won a myriad of awards including five grammys for her music and had been hailed as one of the most talented singers of her age a success was often overshadowed though by a well documented battle with drugs and alcohol also the subject of her hit song

rehab last month the european tour after being booed off stage during a performance in. the latest operations led by nato and afghan forces sixteen insurgents have been killed in the country's south the raid comes in response to renewed taliban activity as nato begins a gradual withdrawal from afghanistan the plan is to recall all foreign combat troops by the end of two thousand and fourteen nato's new military commander in the country general john allen warns of quote tough times ahead for the war effort. this month the president's brother was assassinated by one of his own bodyguards and in a separate incident one of them it caused by talk advisors was also gone and see what you post brought back things the u.s. led coalition is losing ground in afghanistan and while the number of casualties used to rise. they can't win by staying in fact their presence is becoming the main

catalyst for the armed insurgency not only the taliban but maybe one hundred forty armed groups and they can't leave either because if they leave there will be a perception that the u.s. and nato were defeated by an armed insurgency but this dilemma must be solved some way so ultimately the united states cannot prevail the assassination of karzai as brother and his inner circle shows that the edifice of the karzai regime necessary at least to give afghan face to the nato occupation that itself is now crumbling these armed attacks these assassination attempts are designed to create panic and i think in all likelihood they are creating panic within the very heart the foundation of the karzai government the u.s. is losing grown steadily it's spending one hundred twenty billion dollars a year that's an increasing amount from the treasury that's already drained based on huge budget deficits here the number of casualties on the afghan and american side is is increasing not decreasing and yet they're no closer to victory in fact

they're losing control of the country and the government that they sponsor is is in fact in danger of crumbling i would say the u.s. hasn't gained anything i think the u.s. is losing ground and spite of what david petraeus and the obama administration say this is a bad situation possibly a catastrophe for the united states. and meantime the u.s. has been carrying out unmanned drone strikes in pakistan for years but now one of the mosque the minds of the attacks is in the crosshairs himself former cia official john resign faces a lawsuit of a civilian casualties human rights lawyers and the families of victims are seeking an arrest warrant against him it's claimed rizzo approved a list of targets for the drone strikes strikes which are often resulted in schools or civilian deaths. is a member of the campaign group that's bringing the action against to reside she told us that i washington must be held to account for its operations in pakistan. thus far these drones have been operating in pakistan in the federal federal administrated tribal areas fata and they've been operating in secret by the cia and

they've been killing indiscriminately hundreds of civilians since although the purpose of this is is hopefully to gets a chance apparently out of out of the cia and out of obama and to to get some justice on behalf of the victims of these drone strikes as we know the u.s. is not in a war in pakistan the u.s. it is operating extra legally by carrying out these drone strikes in pakistan in yemen and somalia and in terms of it being disproportionate you know we have numbers coming out of pakistan that indicate that you know for every one suspected militants being killed one hundred forty innocent civilians are dying as a result of these strikes and so if those numbers are correct you know we have people on the ground who are who are gathering the information who are doing the investigation to try to collect the information so that we can bring a more transparent more honest picture to the public about what's happening in pakistan. you with all the live from moscow it's good to have your company today as
